Looking for 8g keychain flashdrive with metal body

[JohnnyScience]

Maybe you guys can help.

I've been trying to find an 8g keychain flashdrive with a black metal body.

I'm having trouble finding ones with metal bodies in general.

Anyone got anything on this?

Thanks.

i have yet to see 1 with a metal body.. good suggestion make your own and be the first one with one. the phone i have on my keys is some cheap 10 buck usb stick i picked up at office max one day cause i saw them laying there for 10 bucks, for 2 gigs. i was like why not, it it breaks o well.

Look no further than a LaCie iamakey drive...

Or it's cousin (which is larger...)

They come in 4Gb, 8Gb and 16Gb guise...

DocBrown has bought several flash drives. He's posted some screen shots of them. This one isn't all metal but if you search through his threads you can find the others One is all metal and on a key chain.. This one is a 16gb for 8.95.Fabe http://www.sevenforums.com/vip/37639-sandisk-16g-cheap.html

Ok cool thanks guys I will go through those links now.

I have also found this:

SanDisk | Products | USB Flash Drives | SanDisk® Ultra® Cruzer® Titanium USB Flash Drive

But it worries me for the main usb port to not have any type of cover or anything.

Dont we have to worry about dirt & debris getting inside since there is no cover? Wont that eventually affect the function-ability of the device?

The connector on Cruzers retracts inside the shell...

$97.99? You got to be kidding me? For a flash drive. Well after all it is Titanium

go for the ironkey...
its gonna cost you a pretty penny though..
https://www.ironkey.com/
this little thing is FIPS validated so this thing is really tough...
see the videos on youtube to see all the stuff people have done to it...

That's definetly a cool drive but in dollars that's like 82.50 for the 16 gb I like the looks of the Ironkey but no price?

I had a U3 Cruzer and wasn't too impressed. Very much of a plastic feel, and the connector sometimes retracts into the body when you're trying to push it into a port, which can be a PITA.

I have an 8gb and 16gb cruzer micro and performance is great. (It can be a pain plugging in tho I agree with you there)

Here's alink to a video about the ironkey pretty impressive but $150.00 for an 8 gb. View demo. https://www.ironkey.com/l-enterpris...t&ik_t=IronKey&ik_s=google&ik_k=Ad&ik_ad=true

I also found this one, it actually takes care of needing a cap issue as this one seems to retract deeper inside the case?

But I dont think it has a keychain hook.

Yes but the end port is still open allowing debris to get inside on the connectors. Even though it retracts & wont break off, its still not totally covered like some.

Dont we need to worry about dirt getting inside these things?

I thoroughly recommend the LaCie products linked to earlier. They are far slimmer than any other USB sticks and are nicely burnished aircraft grade aluminium. You get two models and various capacities, I went for the slimmer one in 16Gb format personally - and it's way sleeker than the Corsair Voyager it replaced

If money is no object, titanium is probably nice. But for a budget, this one may do too: SanDisk Cruzer Micro 8GB USB Flash Drive - Retail Package - SuperMediaStore.com?

Hi there
these aren't so uncommon
here's mine

8GB "Integral" stick -- bought in Dixon's at at Heathrow airport. 16 GB one's common as well now - with nice little leather carrying case.

Photo shown

BTW avoid Heathrow if you can - in a lifetime of working in different countries Heathrow must be one of the most hideous airport experiences ever (and I've been in some rough places in my time such as Port Harcourt in Nigeria etc.)

Cheers

I like the looks of the Ironkey but no price?

i suggest you search around but this is the manufacturer store...
https://store.ironkey.com/
there are two versions...
the S200 and the D200
the real difference is the speed transfer...
